“I have used attorneys at least 4 times in my life. Some attorneys didn’t have a lot of time to talk or acted too busy. Richard Wingerden was always available to talk and if he was busy he would always text me back then follow up with a phone call. He made me feel like he had no other clients. A very personal touch. As a firefighter of 31 years and working in retail for 6 I know good customer service and he definitely surpasses the standard of ‘Good Customer Service.’ ”
